Abstract
This chapter provides a review of school-based universal and selective prevention programs that have been employed with at-risk children and seek to promote social competence while also reducing behavior problems. The review focuses on programs used with elementary and middle school students and includes details of target goals, programmatic activities, implementation, and effectiveness. Included in this chapter are programs that have received empirical support for at-risk students and can be delivered by school mental health personnel or teachers in the school setting. The discussion examines key challenges, important next steps for program implementation, and key future research directions.
